In 210 AD, Cao Cao encapsulated the north with the intention of going south to unify the world. However, Sun Quan and Liu Bei in the south posed the greatest threat to it. The situation of the Three Kingdoms is formed at this moment, and the Battle of Chibi is about to begin. This is an era of division and heroes. In this battle, which is related to the future direction of the Three Kingdoms, the decisions of every general and the movement of every army are full of tactics and resourcefulness.
Cao Cao had 800,000 troops, and his goal was directly aimed at Jiangdong. In the face of such a strong enemy, the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei appeared weak and not to be feared. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness showed an astonishing light at this time.
"Gong Jin, Cao's army is powerful, do we really have a chance of winning?" Sun Quan was worried at the pre-war meeting. A hint of sharpness flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, "Lord, the key is the way to use soldiers." Although Cao Cao is strong, although he has many troops, he is not a division of water warfare. ”
Zhuge Liang stroked the feather fan and said with a smile: "Zhou Lang is saying that this battle is extraordinary, and you can use fire to attack it." The Cao Jun ships were connected, connected by iron locks, and once the fire broke out, it was like a bamboo. ”
It was getting late, and the east wind was coming as scheduled. Zhou Yu ordered Lu Su and Huang Gai to take charge of the fireship and attack the enemy ship. "Tonight is the moment of decisive battle, soldiers, follow me to death!" Huang Gai's voice was especially loud in the night. The morale of the soldiers was high and they swore to follow to the death.
The warship slowly moved forward on the river, and the moment the fireboat was ignited, the raging fire was like a divine punishment from heaven, and it instantly ignited Cao Jun's ship. "Shoot the arrows!" Zhou Yu calmly ordered, and the dense rain of arrows suppressed Cao's army, unable to deal with it effectively.
Cao Cao heard the news from the front line in the big tent, and his face turned pale. "How so? My warship in chains has become a bondage! He couldn't believe it, he thought that the iron chain could stabilize the warship and strengthen the formation, but he didn't expect that it would become an accomplice in the spread of the fire.
In the battle of Chibi, Cao's army suffered countless casualties and lost all its elites, so Cao Cao had to retreat with hatred. "If it weren't for Dongfeng's betrayal, how could I have defeated this?" Cao Cao looked at the remnants of the fire on the river, and his heart was full of helplessness.
After the war, Zhou Yu drank with Zhuge Liang by the river, and the two talked and laughed. Zhuge Liang lifted the wine glass, "Today's victory is the fruit of time, place, and people." But more importantly, it is because we can work together to fight against a strong enemy. Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, his eyes flashed with relief after the war, "After this battle, although Jiangdong is safe, the world is undecided, and I still need Gong Jin to help me." ”
The Battle of Chibi is not only a simple military confrontation, but also a contest of wisdom and courage, and an interweaving of strategy and fate. In the long course of history, this battle demonstrated the tenacity and resourcefulness of the Chinese nation in defeating the strong with the weak. As Zhuge Liang said, victory comes from the right time, place, and people, but more importantly, unite as one and face challenges together.
This spirit is still relevant today. Whether it is national development or personal life, in the face of difficulties and challenges, we need not only individual wisdom and courage, but also teamwork and joint efforts. The Battle of Chibi taught us not only the tactics of ancient warfare, but also a kind of unity and wisdom that will never go out of style.
Let us remember the past, draw strength from it, and create a better future together. The fire of Chibi illuminates not only the surface of the river, but also the pursuit of tenacity and wisdom in the hearts of countless people in later generations.
